Tycho Brahe's death

Have you read the book "Heavenly Intrigue" (or at least the releveant portions of it on Tycho Brahe's death) and the authors' hypothesis concerning the possibility that he was murdered (poisoned) by Johannes Kepler?

Have you enough expertise in renal failure to comment on the matter?

Occasionally, we see a cat at the animal shelter where I volunteer who is straining to pass fluids. A urinary blockage is considered very serious and a call for immediate veterinary attention. The animal could die within hours due to toxin build-up in the blood. An autopsy would reveal significant levels of toxins in the blood (and body?), but that would not mean the animal was poisoned, or at least not externally. The source of the poison would be the animal's own biological processes and the inability to expell them, right?

The discussion page (on this subject) of the Wikipedia article on Tycho Brahe makes a very interesting read into Wikipedia editing processes.

Approval RNA interference

Ive put an approval template on RNAi , take our previous exchanges as amounting to your agreement. Lets try and get another one up. David Tribe 23:55, 6 February 2007 (CST)

When you have time to just read.

Hi Nancy, I started with what I hope will become a cycle of articles about my subject of interest. It is on a sub page of the workshop page of my user talk pages: User:Christo_Muller/Workshop/Pain1. The idea is to avoid the strictly neurophysiological discussion which most authors or collections use to introduce the subject (pain comes from stimulation of nociceptors, etc), but rather to point out the vastness of the field, to introduce an exploration of the enormous impact that pain has on humanity. There is an opinion that all of human progress, in the humanities and sciences, stems from the drive to avoid or understand this superficially self-evident emotion. Pain1 was bashed out in an hour and a half, so it may be somewhat disorganised. Do you think the idea of a "cycle" of articles would work out? Would you balance this primary / introductory article differently? Should I publish it elsewhere? Any random or favourite "sub topics"? Other comments? Kind regards Christo Muller 18:06, 9 February 2007 (CST)

The other David Tribe

There are two David Tribe's at least in Australia. I doubt whether I'm the one in WP ;0) David Tribe 19:47, 10 February 2007 (CST) Yes I am the infamous one!. Also I responded using Richard Dawkins' The God Delusion to validate Einstein as having religious views. :0) Lunch was nice. David Tribe 21:21, 10 February 2007 (CST)

Biology 1.3

Take a peek at Biology/Draft if you have time. Einstein is changed to Einstein [ref number]

I'm about to slap a 7 day approval template for Version 1.3. so its a finite step forward we get ourelves into. The more I refect, the more I see the PHILOSOPH comment as missing the point. And good G-D, Dawkins was cited in Biology just before Einstein and Dawkins nicely defines "Einsteinian religion" for us. Willian Harvey can at a pinch replace the finch, but the finch is nice.

One last point: if we give into all the irrelevant sniping the process will resemble Zeno's paradox (? memory ?), will it not ? David Tribe 21:24, 11 February 2007 (CST)


Read your note re finches and stuff . Agreed Ill put up the 1.3 version of biology and await work from the snipers. As far as DNA, that my home territory and I think the first paragraph alone is ungainly misleading and generally like a camel. I will hoe in David Tribe 22:06, 11 February 2007 (CST)

Horse colors

Nancy, Ive just purged the grafitti from th history log of horse colors. The dates of the restoration do not tally with the last one. Can you take a peek and see if the text is fine Ive let the grafitti in the history log of the TALK page as no one ever looks at it David Tribe 02:12, 11 February 2007 (CST)

Children hurt

Thanks for your comments, Nancy. I agreed on the kids angle. I have it in list of suggested articles, but the intro article should mention pain at extremes of age (and altered mental capacities) - all grossly mismanaged. There are a few interesting articles coming out on pain in the foetus, with theories that if we do foetal surgery without adequate analgesia we may harm the person for life. Now how will one ever prove that, given the numbers of and reasons for foetal surgery? I see we have a British medical writer on board (User:Eleanor Steele). That should be a great help for "disciplining" the professionals who are used to peertalk only. --Christo Muller 05:16, 11 February 2007 (CST)

Quote

The material in this edit is not a quote. It is paraphrased from the introductory paragraphs of this article, but not quoted. Fred Bauder 20:34, 11 February 2007 (CST)

Advice on 'Life'

Taking the Life article in its current draft, what would you like to see further developed or modified. I have much more in mind for this article, especially work on the later sections, but would like to consider the practicality of getting out a draft that qualifies for consideration of approval. Would expect to work further on a Life/Draft. --Anthony.Sebastian (Talk) 15:03, 13 February 2007 (CST)

Good to see you back! I'm too busy with school to follow much, but if you write a medical article, I'll definitely look in and make a comment or 2! -Tom Kelly (Talk) 22:19, 20 February 2007 (CST)

Yes, the re-bluing of all those red links to your user page certainly has made my day. --Christo Muller (Talk) 12:41, 21 February 2007 (CST)

thought you might like to put your analysis on these books if you ever have time and possibly suggest more relating to peds.
